What the Yankees have in camp are non-roster invitees Juan Rivera and Matt Diaz and minor leaguers Melky Mesam, Zoilo Almonte and Ronnier Mustelier.

“Listen, I love Johnny Damon,” Cashman said. “He was a great Yankee, (he) has a World Series ring to show for it, and it was a good marriage while we had it. But that was a while ago.”

In his four years with the Yankees — primarily hitting in the leadoff spot ahead of Derek Jeter — Damon batted .285 with 77 home runs and 93 stolen bases. He shined on the big stage, hitting .364 in the 2009 World Series against the Phillies.
